HydraCradle Tank
1 - General Information
HydraMaster’s latest addition to its accessory product line is the HydraCradle™ Tank, a 125-gallon (473-litre) rotomolded fresh water tank with an integrated multi-reel system. It is compatible with most truckmounts on the market and all of HydraMaster truckmounts, including slide-ins. The HydraCradle Tank is an innovative combination of durable, rustproof rotomolded components and powder coated steel. Its one-piece, frameless self-venting design is virtually leakproof. Standard features of the HydraCradle Tank include a 38” (96.5 cm) diameter, rotomolded vacuum hose reel which holds a full 250 ft (76.2 m) of 2” (5.1 cm) diameter vacuum hose and houses a “live-center” vacuum connection. “Live center” means the hose connector on the vacuum reel is always connected to the recovery tank, providing an easy and convenient connection.
Hydramaster’s HydraCradle Tank - a Multi-Reel Rotomolded Fresh Water Tank
One of the HydraCradle Tank’s features is the convenient live-center connection on the hose reels -- standard on the vacuum reel and offered as an option on the solution/garden hose reels.
1-1: General Information
HydraCradle Tank The 14” (35.6 cm) diameter, rotomolded solution hose reel, with a manual crank and an optional live center, holds up to 250 ft (76.2 m) of solution hose or up to 50 ft. (15.2 m) of garden hose . A convenient foot switch, located on the front of the unit, lets you automatically retract the vacuum hose when you are finished cleaning. Also located on the front of the unit is an easily accessible fresh water fill connector. When the tank is full, the HydraCradle Tank’s water fill sensor automatically shuts off the water, preventing spill over. The centralized up-front electrical panel houses the pump-in pump, the pump’s filter and 15 Amp fuse, and the 30 Amp fuse for the hose reel motor. Although the HydraCradle Tank has been designed and built to give you years of reliable service, it still requires proper installation and operation, as well as regular maintenance.

General Information: 1-14
HydraCradle Tank LOCAL WATER PRECAUTIONS The quality of water varies greatly. Many areas have an excess of minerals in the water which results in what is commonly called “hard water.” These minerals tend to adhere to the insides of heater coils and other parts of the machines causing damage and a loss of cleaning effectiveness. This influences the reliability and efficiency of equipment in direct proportion to the level of hardness. Hard Water Advisory HydraMaster recognizes that any hard water deposits which might occur within the water system of our truckmounts and tanks is a serious problem. Hard water deposits will ultimately decrease the performance of the system and are expected to seriously lower the reliability of the machine. To validate a machine’s warranty, HydraMaster requires that all machines operating in designated “Hard Water Areas” (3.0 grains or more per gallon) be fitted with a water softening system, or a properly installed magnetic-type descaler must be used and maintained. Periodic descaling or acid-rinsing alone is not adequate in these areas. HydraMaster does not recommend any particular type or brand; however, the relative effectiveness of some types of magnetic descalers or softeners may require additional periodic use of descaling agents. HydraMaster also recommends, in the strongest possible terms, that machines in all areas be fitted with a water softening system for improved operation and reliability.
Failure to take appropriate measures to prevent scale build up can result in system failure and loss of warranty on affected parts.
1-15: General Information
HydraCradle Tank Hard Water Area Map The hard water map, shown in Figure 1-3, defines hard water areas in the lower 48 United States which compromise fluid related components such as hoses, fittings, pumps, and valves. For other countries, hard water area maps can be obtained from geological societies.
Figure 1-3. Hard Water Map of Mainland United States
The map shown in Figure 1-3 is provided for general reference only. Water hardness in your geographical location should be confirmed by testing.
General Information: 1-16
HydraCradle Tank Water Softener Cleaning efficiency and equipment life is increased, chemical use decreased, and the appearance of cleaned carpets enhanced when water softeners are incorporated in hard water areas. HydraMaster strongly urges the use of water softener units with the HydraCradle Tank in areas exceeding 3.0 grains per gallon (3.78 litres). Failure to use a water softener in these areas will invalidate the tank’s warranty. Referring to the hard water area map shown Figure 1-2, determine the quality of water in your area and take immediate action if the water hardness exceeds 3.0 grains per gallon. The relatively low cost of a water softener service is more than made up for by an increased life of machine parts, reduced chemical costs and continued cleaning efficiency. The water softener will also increase the effectiveness of the cleaning chemicals, therefore less chemical will be needed. For example: If the softener will treat 900 gallons (3.04 kilolitres) of water and the machine uses an average of 30 gallons (113.6 litres) per hour, for an average of 5 hours a day, this equals 150 gallons (568 litres) per day. In 6 days the machine would use 900 gallons of water. Therefore, the softener would need to be charged every 6 working days for maximum softening. Contact a water softener distributor in your area for information on the rental of a simple water treatment unit to carry in your vehicle. Be sure to charge the water softener in accordance with the capability of the softener.

5 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting To avoid costly repairs and down-time, it is imperative to develop and practice good maintenance procedures. Periodic procedures fall into daily and weekly increments, and are outlined in this section. All recommended maintenance must be performed by competent service personnel. This section is divided into the following topics: Operational Maintenance Appearance Maintenance Troubleshooting OPERATIONAL MAINTENANCE This section contains recommendations for maintenance that will affect the service life of your HydraCradle. HydraMaster recommends that you follow maintenance schedules as stated. Belt Tension Each month, check the tension on the V belt by: 1. Removing power from the HydraCradle by detaching the HydraCradle’s battery cables from the 12 V battery. 2. Removing the 5 screws and 5 washers that secure the belt cover to the HydraCradle frame and then remove the belt cover. 3. Pressing in on the V belt to test the tension. If the belt can be pressed in more than 1” (25.4 mm), it needs to be tightened. 4. After checking and/or adjusting the belt, re-attach the belt cover frame and re-apply power. Zerk Lubrication If your HydraCradle Tank is configured with a livecenter connection on a small hose reel, lubricate the zerk on the swivel after every 40 hours of use with molybdenum disulfide (“moly”) grease (see Figure 5-1).
Do not overgrease.
Figure 5-1. Location of Zerk on Swivel 5-1: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
HydraCradle Tank Pump-in Pump Filter Check Remove, inspect and clean the pump-in pump filter on at least a monthly basis. 1. If the tank is not empty, drain it by opening the drain valve.
If the tank is not drained prior to changing the filter, water will drain from the filter opening when the filter is removed. 2. Remove, inspect and clean the pump-in pump filter (see Figure 5-2).
Figure 5-2. Unscrew See-through Cap (Left Photo); Remove and Inspect Filter (Right Photo)
For easier access to the cap, you have the option of removing the pump access cover first, as shown in Figure 5-3, using a 7/16” (11 mm) wrench.
Figure 5-3. Remove Pump Access Cover
Maintenance and Troubleshooting: 5-2
HydraCradle Tank Descaling Scale deposits on the interior of the HydraCradle can cause a noticeable loss in performance. Deposits of this kind result from hard water deposits. The frequency with which descaling procedures are required will vary. If your area has particularly hard water or you see evidence of deposits in the HydraCradle and the solution/garden hoses, you may have to descale monthly. To descale your system: 1. Add an appropriate descaler chemical to your HydraCradle. 2. Pump the descaler through the HydraCradle system according to the directions on the descaler container’s label. 3. Flush and repeat as necessary. 4. Clean the pump-in pump filter and check it frequently following descaling. APPEARANCE MAINTENANCE Maintaining the original appearance of your HydraCradle is important for two reasons: 1. It represents a big dollar investment for your cleaning business and its appearance should reflect that fact. A dirty machine does not look professional. 2. Maintenance, troubleshooting and repair is much easier to accomplish on a clean, well-maintained unit. Regular cleaning of the tank offers you an opportunity to visually inspect all parts of the tank and spot potential problems before they occur. The following maintenance is recommended at the frequency indicated: Daily • Wipe tank thoroughly with a damp cloth. • Wipe down hoses as needed. Weekly • Visually inspect hoses for cuts and abrasions. • Thoroughly clean hoses. • Remove large debris which may have accumulated under the vacuum hose, at the bottom of the tank, and wipe away any remaining smaller debris.
